Street Art around Oahu
Description
Personal snapshots of murals and street art that I took around the island of Oahu. Local businesses support spray painted images on their buildings, especially when the artwork is dedicated to Hawaiian history. This island enjoys turning boring looking objects such as mailboxes or electrical boxes into art. This collection will showcase the variety of art you can enjoy while being on the island of Oahu.
